Goodbye to the Mustang
After lots of thought and research I decided to say adios to the Mustang and move upscale a bit. Last Tuesday I traded for a 2013 Cadillac ATS Performance trim, 2.0L turbo engine with 5,100 miles on it. No, it doesn't equal the 5.0 acceleration, but it's quick when the turbo spools in and the handling is very solid. Plus the ride and comfort make up for any straight line loss.
I have to get past the nostalgia pangs I've been having when a 5.0 comes in sight, but that's part of moving on.
Take care, guys.
Richard

I have to ask why didn't you wait on the V....It's more than likely my next car. I sure I've stated that somewhere before LOL.

I suspect the ATS V is still a year away plus I don't buy new. Careful shopping got me this one for $28,500 where new it would list over $43,000. I'm scared to think what the V will cost.
